So the clan contest basically allows us to confirm Jaya's superiority over Scion of the Ur-Dragon. Speak up because if there isn't a torrent of Scion love, Jaya will be getting our everlasting approval soon.
EDIT: I vote for "Metamagic and things that go boom" for the next thread title. I don't care if the trolling gets Called approval. That's just feeding the trolls. Besides, the Izzet may have rivalries, but at the end of the day they aren't nearly as cool and interesting as metamagical explosions!
I certainly wasn't approving it; niv said to post that would be sinking lower than the Called, + I was asking how it's sinking lower, since we've never done that; ie; what has the Called done to get up the Izzet's skirt aside from general clan contest competitiveness?

And I change my vote to "Metamagic and things that go boom"

Alright, Niv. You seem to think that we (the Izzet and the Called) are just two seperate packs of trolls trying to get eachothers' goats and make the other explode back. Although that may once have been such a time (:sweat:), it hasn't really been like that for as long as I can remember. We're just rivals. The word "rival" doesn't necessarily facilitate the meaning "enemy".

...what has the Called done to get up the Izzet's skirt aside from general clan contest competitiveness?
I know there was something a few years ago that for the life of the Izzet I can't remember... maybe it was just that superiority thing... we might have become offended because... well... our egos were just as large, and clashing huge egos is generally a bringer of bad results...^_^;
Really though, we don't (well, I don't, anyway) have any problem with the Called. We're just competitive. I mean, it's human nature (in fact, any animal, really) to be competitive--Darwinism and blah blah. Surely the two best clans should be at eachothers' throats, no?
But anyway, like was my original intent, I don't think we should go with the name. Too provocative. I'll VOTE: with kpaca's [The Izzet] is just frickin' awesome!

Hey, what happened to my other suggestions? I only see one of them up here.
Also, I seriously think that the title, "[The Izzet] is just frickin' awesome," be opted out simply because of the fact that it has neither any relevance with an inherent flavor of the Izzet nor does it even utilize the phonetic qualities of the word "Izzet." A title for the clan, I believe, must fulfill one of those two requirements for it to even be considered to be a title, else it would be perfectly legitimate for the Izzet to say something such as:
[The Izzet] are green
[The Izzet] supports the KKK, the anti-liberal, and the anti-gay
[The Izzet] eats babies
[The Izzet] is better than The Called!
Simply put, there must be some sort of a guideline as to when a title must not be acceptable regardless if it doesn't violate forum rules.
Thus, I am requesting that a constitutional rule be enacted, for the flavor of the Izzet, that, above all things, we ought not as to profane the namesake of the name of the guild that we represent by adding properties to its title that are irrelevant and non-essential and non-sufficient to the purposes and beings thereof of the guild. Regardless of how lax some of us may be about who is Izzet or who is Red/Blue and who is not, it would totally impermissible for us to change the identity of a thing for no given purpose other than it being something that is agreeable. It would be as if I and everyone else decided to call Ravus "Sarah Luna-Umbra Telos" without Ravus's consent because we felt like it and voted for it. Democratic poll-voting, in effect, cannot override something such as this.
Hey, what happened to my other suggestions? I only see one of them up here.
If no one has voted for it up until now, it's unlikely enough people would vote for it to be relevant.

First, our current thread title doesn't really fall into your criteria. Second, we opted out of using [Izzet = Is It] puns a long time ago, april fools jokes aside.

If people started calling Ravus that, he would likely find you in the real world and kick your ass. Generally, we handle things on a case-by-case basis rather than enacting hard-and-fast constitutional rules. See the precedent that was set by the whole demoting Niv thing.
The way we choose new thread titles? Whatever people like the most is what we use.

It's true that democratic voting isn't the best way to do this. But then, I've been pushing for a more oligarchical variation of the clan's hierarchy for... well... at least as long as Rocker's been posting here again (and much longer).
Clan thread-titles don't need to be any of the things you described, it's perfectly fine just stroking our (enormous) egos every now and again. I mean hell, we should have for this thread! We won the Clan of the Year race just before this thread started!

I think it's an excellent title, and that you're terrible at judging the worthiness of clan titles.

remove the quotes. technically, they may be required but they add an air of pedantry not well-suited to a thread title for mad genii
(us, um, o, i, o ,i - i, os it, is orum ... ****. I dont remember.)
Also: Voting for Godsire. I have heard nothing substantial to the contrary. Honestly, you should have PM'd me if you really liked Godsire over Jaya. This one is obvious for the Izzet.
Also, Ivaldi... (and Ravus) - the Izzet aren't oliogarchists; we're meritocratists. true, we don't care so much about everyone having a voice as much as the best idea winning out. but the best way to do this is to use democracy with bullying. let everone have a voice.
Just make sure the smart people are shouting.
So I was going to blast Ivaldi for having an opinion above his station, but stalted and overly-technical language aside, he's right to express himself, and we're right to tell him to shut up. That's how the best idea wins.
